Gu Master Era: My Toad Swallowed the School Beauty at the Beginning

Seeing Wang Xiao looking speechless, Tao Lin said triumphantly, "Little friend, don't look like you're being bullied. It's a great advantage for you to acknowledge me as your master!

Don't be unwilling!

I, Tao Lin, am the president of the Alchemist Association's Golden Bell City branch!

A fifth-grade alchemist and a sixth-level Gu master!

There are countless people who want to be my disciple!

Didn't you say you have a master?

Tell me who he is, and I'll go beat him up, and he'll obediently hand you over to me!"

Wang Xiao shook his head, "I don't believe you. Dare you say those words again?"

"What's there to be afraid of! Tell me who your master is, and I'll go beat him up and make him obediently hand you over to me!

With your talent, only I, Tao Lin, am worthy of being your master!"

Wang Xiao and Li Nan both took a step back, then looked at Tao Lin with pity!

Tao Lin asked, "What are those expressions! Don't you believe what the dignified president of the Alchemist Association is saying?"

Wang Xiao asked, "President Tao, may I ask, are you resistant to being beaten?"

Tao Lin was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean! Who dares to beat me! Who can beat me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a whistling sound above his head, followed by a heavy blow to his head!

Tao Lin immediately clutched his head and shouted, "Who! Who dares to hit me! Ouch, it hurts!"

"Little Taozi, I haven't seen you in decades, and you've grown capable! You actually dare to snatch my disciple!"

The onlookers immediately witnessed a scene they would never forget!

They saw an unremarkable old man suddenly appear behind President Tao, then began hitting him over the head with his tobacco pipe!

As he hit him, he said, "I'll let you snatch my disciple! I'll let you snatch my disciple! Didn't you want to beat up his master? Come on! Come and beat me!"

Tao Lin, a dignified sixth-level Gu master, was actually unable to fight back and was hopping around from the blows!

"Ouch… Ouch! It's Senior Sun Qian! Stop hitting me, so many people are watching, save some face for little Tao!"

It would have been better if he hadn't said that, because as soon as he said that, Sun Hong hit him even harder!

"Save face! Save face! I'll let you save face! You want to snatch my disciple and still want me to save face for you!"

"Ouch! Senior Sun, I really didn't know he was your disciple! If I had known, even if I had ten guts, I wouldn't dare to snatch your disciple!"

The jaws of the surrounding audience dropped in shock!

You must know that Tao Lin had already been famous for over a hundred years and was also a senior figure. He actually called this old man 'Senior' and referred to himself as 'little Tao,' so it seemed that this person had an extraordinary background!

Judging from their words, this newly arrived Senior Sun was actually Wang Xiao's master!

Everyone looked at Wang Xiao again and saw that he was watching the show with great interest, thinking that no wonder this kid dared to confront Feng Qingyan and Chen Quanli so strongly at the Alchemist Association. It turned out that he had such a strong backer!

However, this backer was too strong, wasn't it? He could beat up the president of the Alchemist Association whenever he wanted!

Wang Xiao was also overjoyed. Having a peerless expert as his master was really awesome!

As long as he encountered trouble, he could use the "Great Summoning Technique" to summon his master, and he could immediately beat the other person black and blue!

Before, when he said, "In this life, I, Wang Xiao, will only acknowledge one master! I will never acknowledge anyone else as my master!"

Did you think he was saying that to others? No, he was saying that to his own master!

The red jade token that Sun Hong gave him, in addition to representing his identity as a high-level member of the academy alliance, also had the function of transmitting information.

Since he had run into trouble that he couldn't handle, Wang Xiao naturally called his master at the first opportunity!

Sun Hong chased after Tao Lin and beat him up, only stopping after beating the president black and blue!

Tao Lin looked at Wang Xiao with a resentful expression, "Little brother, you're Senior Sun's disciple, why didn't you say so earlier!"

You made me get beaten for nothing!

Wang Xiao looked up at the sky, ignoring him!

Is it my fault!

You were the one who insisted on taking me as your disciple!

I didn't agree, but you still wanted to force me!

Who else should I beat if not you!

Seeing that Wang Xiao was ignoring him, Tao Lin didn't dare to get angry and went to Sun Hong with a smile, "Senior Sun, when did you come to Golden Bell City? You didn't even tell me so I could serve you!"

Sun Hong sat directly on the alchemy furnace and said leisurely, "I came earlier than you! Five years ago, when you came to Golden Bell City, I even saw you peeing in the small woods outside the city!"

Tao Lin was immediately embarrassed!

Five years ago, when he was assigned to Golden Bell City by the Alchemist Association, he was in a hurry to pee before entering the city and did indeed pee in the small woods outside the city!

He didn't expect that Sun Hong had seen it!

Tao Lin immediately felt very embarrassed that such an embarrassing thing had been said in public.

He looked around and said with great authority, "Everyone, disperse. What's there to see? Go do what you need to do! If I hear anyone gossiping about today's events, I won't spare them!"

The president had spoken, and no one dared not listen!

The onlookers immediately scattered!

Sun Hong had lived in seclusion in Golden Bell City for thirty years, and had not revealed his whereabouts for thirty years.

But recently, for Wang Xiao's sake, he beat up Hua Qianwu of the Hua family, and also killed a seventh-level magic beast that had invaded when the alien passage descended, so many people knew his identity.

Tao Lin didn't know because he had been in seclusion for too long and his information was not up-to-date, otherwise he would have known that Sun Hong was in Golden Bell City long ago.

Next, the two sides had a pleasant exchange!

Wang Xiao also learned about the relationship between his master and Tao Lin.

This Tao Lin was a disciple of the former president of the Alchemist Association and was the junior brother of the current president!

The former president of the Alchemist Association and Sun Hong had an extremely good relationship, like brothers who wore the same pair of pants. Therefore, when Tao Lin saw Sun Hong, he was even closer than he was to his own father!

Once this relationship was established, Tao Lin warmly called Wang Xiao 'Junior Brother,' as close as if they were family!

On the other hand, Li Nan was still thinking about Wang Xiao's matter. She said, "President Tao, Wang Xiao came today to participate in the alchemist exam, but after all this commotion, he hasn't taken the exam yet. Are you going to arrange someone to give him another exam?"

Tao Lin slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot! Little sister is right, but there's no need for an exam. I saw his competition with Feng Qingyan! With Junior Brother Wang Xiao's level, if it weren't for the limitation of spiritual power, he would have been more than qualified to take the second-grade alchemist exam!"

As he spoke, he waved to the distance, and immediately someone came over, namely the two alchemists, Lin Jing and Zhou Huaishan.

Tao Lin instructed, "Go prepare a first-grade alchemist badge, issue it to Wang Xiao, and enter him into the association's member roster. It will be convenient for him to do anything in the association in the future!"

"Yes!"

Lin Jing and Zhou Huaishan retreated and returned shortly after, bringing a first-grade alchemist badge for Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao was not polite and accepted it directly!

With this badge, he was considered a member of the Alchemist Association.

Members of the Alchemist Association are divided into two types: internal members and association members!

For example, Feng Qingyan and Chen Quanli are internal members of the association. They receive generous benefits from the association, and their skills belong to the association. Once they make a mistake, the Alchemist Association can impose severe punishments on them, such as expelling them from the association and forbidding them from practicing alchemy forever!

But Wang Xiao is different. He is an association member.

The Alchemist Association does not pay salaries or benefits to members, but instead charges membership fees!

If a member violates the association's regulations, their membership will only be revoked, and the association has no right to impose excessive punishments on them!

The benefits of joining the Alchemist Association are also obvious!

After joining the association, if an alchemist is persecuted or treated unfairly, they can receive the protection and assistance of the Alchemist Association!

In this way, no one would dare to openly harm an alchemist.

Moreover, alchemists can enjoy the resources of the association. For example, if you want to find a relatively rare elixir, it is very difficult to do so with individual strength.

But if you join the association and use the association's channels to find elixirs, as long as you pay the corresponding price, it will be much simpler, after all, the Alchemist Association's channels are all over the world, which is incomparable to an individual!

This is also the reason why Wang Xiao came to the association to participate in the exam today, because only by passing the association's exam and obtaining alchemist level certification can he be eligible to join the Alchemist Association!

It's just that he was unlucky. Originally, it was a very simple matter, but it turned out to be so tortuous!

However, the goal was finally achieved, and he got to know Tao Lin, so it would be easier for him to get any elixirs he needed in the future!
